Description

The construction company for which I work is in the process of building its new headquarters near Grand Rapids, Michigan. I took this shot just last week. What you see here is the centerpiece of the new facility, a 120 ft. by 52 ft. structural steel cantilever (the largest in the United States), within which the offices will be located. In the spring I’ll be able to post a picture of the finished building.

Spit tone effect applied in Photoshop.

I’ve attached also a color version of the structure taken from a slightly different perspective.

Thanks for viewing. C/C welcome.

Simply stunning tonal work. Darn... I love that

The angle works well and makes this motif interesting and does give it
a life of its own. Well done!

Haha looks crazy man, I hope everyone in your office keeps below 190 lb. The picture is excellent and you managed to choose an interesting and unusual perspective. Great work!

Proabably one of the best before and after shots you are likely to see...waiting for the after shot of course.

i guess there will have to be a big sign in that building. "NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS IN THE OUTER END, NO MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE AT A TIME"

the angle makes me dizzy as if i'm really there, the same position and about to faint. alone, giving this feel makes it a very successful shot already (: kudos w 9/9 from me here ;D
